FOUR FITNESS ACTIVITIES
\nNOT TO BE MISSED THIS SUMMER<\/h1>\n

The sun is shining, you want to stay fit but the last thing you want to do is go to a stuffy Marbella gym without air conditioning. I am still yet to find one that has it!<\/h2>\n

So, this month I decided to go and try out the best fitness activities Marbella and the coast has to offer. And here are my fantastic four recommendations!<\/strong><\/p>\n

After you finish reading, get your imaginary coat, your kids, your partner, your friends, your sunblock and get ready to have an amazing time at 1 of the below, or why not try all of them. I guarantee you will not regret it.<\/p>\n

\"FANTASTIC-4<\/strong>\"FANTASTIC-4<\/h3>\n

MIKE’S GYM<\/strong><\/h3>\n

(ONE FOR THE HARDCORE SPORTISTAS)<\/em><\/p>\n

This was the first stop on my journey in finding the best activities Marbella has to offer. For anyone who doesn\u00b4t know, Mike’s Gym is a simply incredible purpose built training facility that specialises in OCR (Obstacle Course Racing). I was met by super fit trainer Sorrel, who walked me through what is known to be Europe\u00b4s TOUGHEST OCR Course and tried out \"FANTASTIC-4some of the gruelling activities. You name it, I did it; I climbed, I ran, I jumped, I swung, I balanced, I lifted, I threw and I ended up in the water!<\/p>\n

I met Mike himself, the owner and creator of this amazing camp and he is as hardcore as the \"FANTASTIC-4course. Known for his famous sayings, \u201cdon\u00b4t f**k about\u201d & \u201cdo it like you mean it\u201d I am already hooked and booked in for the end of the month.<\/p>\n

Now there is something for everyone here but I recommend Mikes Gym for the more advanced sports lovers out there.<\/p>\n

\"I\"II BIKE MARBELLA (G2MOVE MARBELLA SEGWAY TOURS)<\/strong><\/h3>\n

(ONE FOR THE LEISURE LOVERS)<\/em><\/p>\n

My second stop was a well-deserved rest after I recovered from my first and I went to see I Bike Marbella. Since the paseo has been fully finished, it has been littered with people out running and biking and everywhere I look, I see the familiar sign of I Bike Marbella.<\/p>\n

So I went to try out their Segway and bicycle tours. I have not riden a bike since I was 18 years old and it\u00b4s true you \"Inever forget how! I realised how fun it was to ride and segway through Banus overlooking the beautiful beaches and people watch those sunning themselves in La Sala by The Sea and Ocean Club.<\/p>\n

A simple yet great way to stay fit this summer and the staff were so friendly and happy to help. Gilles took me out and we had such fun. I recommend this to anyone wanting a nice easy leisure activity or for those with kids.<\/p>\n

\"FIT4LIFEFIT4LIFE POLE DANCE MARBELLA<\/strong><\/h3>\n

(ONE FOR THE LADIES)<\/em><\/p>\n

Now this one I was nervous about! I have a few friends who go to Fit4Life and swear by it. So I have seen photos and I knew what to expect. I have also watched \u201cMagic Mike\u201d the film and in the back of my head, have thought if all else fails I will become a male pole dancer. (Surely I could do it?)<\/p>\n

\"\"Turns out I was massively wrong. Pole dancing; yes, is as owner Tyrenne describes; \u201c…sexually liberating, emotionally cathartic and an exploration of self…\u201d but is also; \u201can incredible core and upper body strength builder\u201d not to mention you need flexibility, the ability to learn new skills, executing them and absolutely knackering.<\/p>\n

\"\"Tyrenne, who is utterly breath-taking when she dances, tried to teach me a few moves (See pictures \u2013 Big Fail!.<\/p>\n

What a fantastic atmosphere with superb teachers, who love what they do, just like the ladies dancing. The Fit4Life ethos is… \u201cBut what if I fall? Oh but darling, what if you fly.\u201d
\nI am pushing for a male group but I urge, urge, urge, any women out there who want to keep fit, get strong and feel confident to join this quite amazing movement.<\/p>\n

\"RANCHRANCH SIESTA LOS RUBIOS<\/strong><\/h3>\n

(ONE FOR EVERYONE)<\/em><\/p>\n

My last stop and when I asked on social media for initial suggestions, this one got the most recommendations.<\/p>\n

I was greeted by 7 beautiful, smiling faces all gathered around preparing Nero, my horse for the day. Ranging from 5 -16, these girls smothered me with knowledge about horses and riding.<\/p>\n

\"RANCHAt Ranch Siesta Los Rubios, the girls help muck out, train the horses, ride, feed, wash and water these majestic creatures, most of which have been rescued. As well as make up \u201cTeam Los Rubios\u201d who compete in competitions.<\/p>\n

Paulina, gave me a 20 minute crash course and I was galloping before I knew it. Apparently I was a natural, or so the girls said. Even if I wasn\u00b4t, it was this friendly and encouraging team spirit that you cannot find anywhere else that I ultimately loved.<\/p>\n

Then to top off a brilliant day, Caroline the owner, along with two others, took me on a hack through the breathtaking scenery. This is a new experience for me and I highly recommend, whatever your age or your interests, to go and support this incredibly fun and welcoming ranch.<\/p>\n

The plan was to rank Marbella\u00b4s best BUT after experiencing 4 quite fabulously different activities, with enthusiastic staff, a plethora of different positives and ultimately realising I could not decide; I am leaving that job firmly up to you!
